Perfect balance between getting to see a range of the historic & natural sights of the Isle of Skye with passionate commentary & storytelling from our tour guide Mark.

I…”

“The tour: (Warning: Long read ahead on the tour details & my thoughts)   JIM was a wonderful guide. He was new, and about 3 months in the job but he did a lovely job in guiding us, telling us stories, giving some context/history of a place, and giving instructions. If there were a few questions he could not answer immediately, he would look into it and give us an answer later on. He was also quite easy but at the same time provided good guidance on time discipline. He was also sensitive on what the rest of the group wanted to do/see, so on some parts would provide us…”
